Most custom uniforms take about 2–4 weeks to produce and ship once your design is approved, though the exact timeline depends on the order size, decoration method, and time of year. The clock really starts when you approve your mockup — so the fastest way to get your gear on time is to finalize your design early. Here is what each stage looks like.
The stages of a custom order
1. Design and mockup
After you send your colors, logo, and idea, our team builds your artwork and a mockup. How quickly this stage moves depends largely on how fast revisions and approvals happen on your end — a ready logo and a clear idea keep it short.
2. Approval
Nothing goes into production until you approve the proof. This is the most important step you control: the sooner you review colors, spelling, numbers, and placement and sign off, the sooner production begins.
3. Production
Once approved, your order is manufactured and decorated. This is the bulk of the timeline. Larger orders and more complex, multi-item packages take longer than a single set of jerseys.
4. Shipping
After production, your order ships to you. Add transit time to your plan, especially if your season starts on a hard date.
What affects your timeline
- Approval speed: the biggest variable, and the one you control.
- Order size and complexity: full packages across multiple teams take longer than a single set.
- Decoration method: different methods have different production steps.
- Time of year: peak pre-season periods are busier, so build in extra time.
- Roster accuracy: missing sizes or numbers stall production.
How to get your uniforms faster
Start early — ideally weeks before you need them. Come in with your colors, a clean logo, and a complete roster (sizes, numbers, names). Respond to proofs quickly and approve as soon as it looks right. If you are on a tight deadline, tell us your in-hands date up front and we will let you know what is possible.
Have a deadline?
Send us your event or season start date along with your order details, and we will confirm a realistic timeline and build your free mockup right away. Get started and let us know your deadline.
Frequently asked questions
How long do custom uniforms take to make?
Most custom uniforms take about 2–4 weeks from art approval to shipping, depending on the size of the order, the decoration method, and the time of year. Peak pre-season periods can run longer.
When does the turnaround clock start?
The production timeline starts when you approve your mockup, not when you first inquire. Approving your proof quickly is the single best way to get your order sooner.
Can I get custom uniforms rushed?
Sometimes, depending on the order and the calendar. Tell us your in-hands date up front and we will let you know what is possible before you order.
What slows down a custom uniform order?
Slow proof approvals, incomplete rosters (missing sizes or numbers), large multi-team packages, and ordering during peak pre-season all add time. Starting early avoids most delays.
